That's the thing though.. Bure and Kovalchuk were already established players having won the Richard before. Crosby is Crosby, he was regarded as the best prospect in the world, and delivered.. This is Ben Hanowski, need I say more?

In NHL 12, I actually had a bit of fun abusing the sim engine. If you have one player NHL caliber while all the rest are AHL caliber or lower, the sim engline likes to give all the points to that one player and maybe one other player. For example, here is a few pictures from a team I made back in NHL 12. Remember first of all that everyone had higher ratings in NHL 12, so an 82 is like a 79ish in 13

I might go back and do something similar in NHL 13, except maybe try replacing comrie with somebody just absolutely incredible like Crosby, see if that makes a difference.
